Haimovich, of the Blue and White Party, also suggested that all of the seats in the Knesset plenum be changed to synthetic materials, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

There’s no immediate word on a response from Speaker Yuli Edelstein, who belongs to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud.

At least one other Knesset member, Meretz Party head Tamar Zandberg, is a vegan. Along with not eating animal products like meat, eggs and cheese, strict vegans also opposed using products like leather shoes or chairs that are produced from animal parts.
